One scene I thought was ridiculous:

Anyway, I like Casper Van Dien, and I appreciate that he likes Johnny Rico so much that he wanted to reprise the role. But this thing needed a more compelling story. I'll give it a little more time to see if there's any improvement.

I thought of Spock's brother coming face to face with the god of his pursuit in Star Trek V. The two stories aren't altogether different in that sense.
The problem, really, wasn't with the acting so much as the story. Hell, the original isn't exactly famous for its Oscar caliber performances, even though I do think the acting was better. You come up with an engaging narrative that captures people's attention, along with characters that are interesting and sympathetic, and the acting can be accepted, even embraced. But the story was just okay, though the Marauder Project was cool, and there was no one I really hoped would survive. I just didn't care that much.
Better than Starship Troopers 2, though. I'll give it that.

ST2 was beyond bad going onto something awful. At least 3 had the satire back, which was the only reason why I even bothered watching it.

I thought Starship Troopers 3 was surprisingly good. Starship Troopers 2 is roughly what I expect from a straight to video movie. This was much better. Still shows its budget and talent limitations. But ocassionally rises above them. And that giant bug at the end was damn creepy. Also, I thought it was funny how the religious girl instantly forgets about her husband-to-be seconds after he's killed.
